Patent GB-190105908-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Use in Dispensing Aërated Liquids
Inventor: HUCKS WILLIAM
Filed: 1901-03-20
Granted: 1901-08-31
Abstract: 5908. Hucks, W., and Hucks, W. March 20. Aerated beverages, raising and drawing-off.-The supply pipe A, Fig. 5, runs into a socket C bearing a lateral nozzle and ends in a screw cap b<1> which contains a poppet valve a to close a terminal orifice b. In the modification, partly shown in Fig. 3, the valve-stem, directed outwards, ends in a square d engaging a square hole in the socket stopper D, and carries a cross-pin e engaging cam grooves f in the end of the pipe A. When the socket C is turned in a fixed socket q, a pair of cams f<2> on its stopper D open the valve against a closing spring a' by acting on a #-piece i which is screwed into the valve and slides between cheeks c<1> on the cap b<1>. The liquid then issues from a lateral nozzle on the socket. A spring H outside the fixed socket normally sets the turning socket so that the valve is closed and a set-screw s, occupying a circumferential groove, limits the turning movement. A bottle G, held by a bracket hinged near the nozzle, may serve as the handle for turning the socket while at the same time being pressed airtight against the nozzle. To ensure a tight joint between the turning socket C and the pipe A when the liquid is being drawn, inclined shoulders k, l are kept in contact by a spring m, but notches k<1>, l' shift the bottle when the valve is closed.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Coloring Matters.
Inventor: HAAGEN ALBERT
Filed: 1901-04-12
Granted: 1901-06-08
Abstract: 7560. Haagen, A. April 12. Dyes, artificial. - Ferro - chromic colouring- matters, which are basic double salts similar to basic iron alums in composition, the whole or part of the sulphuric acid being replaced by chromic acid, are produced either by causing compounds of iron to act upon chromic acid or its salts in an alkaline solution or by adding to the said substances an alkali, alkaline earth (including magnesia), or ammonia, or alumina, or their salts, before or after or during precipitation. The process results in the practically complete precipitation of the chromium. An example is given in which a compound of the composition 4 (K2O, 2 CrO3), 3 Fe2O3, SO3 + 14 H2O is produced from ferric sulphate, potassium bichromate, and potassium carbonate; and, in another example, a compound of the composition 3 (K2O,2 CrO3), 5 Fe2O3, 2 CrO3 + 8 H2O is produced by causing ferric chloride to act upon potassium bichromate mixed with calcium carbonate. By mixing the foregoing yellow products with blue colours, a great variety of shades of green may be prepared.

Granted: 1901-12-07
Abstract: 20,128. Gallagher, J. P. Oct. 8. Embankments, constructing. Relates to devices for dumping material in railway construction, when advancing a track along low ground, or filling a depression. A cantilever A, Fig. 1, is provided with rails on which the dumping-cars F can be run out so as to be discharged clear of the completed portion of the track. The cantilever is supported on a truck B, the wheels of which are formed with peripheral grooves, so as to constitute double flanges. A boiler and hoisting-engine, fuel bin, and water tank, &c. are mounted on lateral wings at the inner end of the cantilever, and lines e<1>, e' passing over the hoisting-drums are employed to move and tip the cars. Two lines may be wound oppositely on the drums, so that one will serve to dump the car and the other to right it. At the outer end of the cantilever the track is double, with a common centre rail, and the cars can be dumped alternately from the two tracks. An inciined track portion H rests on the inner end of the cantilever, and registers with its track rails. The other end of the portion H is continuous with the track already laid. The cantilever is moved forwards on the rails C as the fresh portion of the track is completed. The boiler, engine, &c. may be mounted on a frame, beneath which the cars entering the cantilever pass. Fig. 8 shows a modified form of cantilever or truss supported on a four-wheeled truck B<2> and a two-wheeled truck B<3>. The boiler, engine, &c. are located on a platform P.

Patent GB-190205530-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Measuring and Indicating an Electricity Supply.
Inventor: MERZ CHARLES HESTERMAN
Filed: 1902-03-05
Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 5530. Merz, C. H. March 5. Current, energy, and quantity meters.-A supply meter, of any kind having a spindle driving a counting-gear, is provided with means for registering the greatest amount of energy or current supplied in a definite time, such as an hour, during any period. For this purpose the spindle A of the meter is geared through a friction clutch to a toothed wheel C, which carries a pin D. In the operation of the meter, the pin D advances a non-return pointer E during an hour, and the toothed wheel C simultaneously turns a toothed sector F. At the end of the hour, a clock returns the sector F, and with it the wheel C and pin D, to their starting positions, the pointer E remaining where it was placed by the pin. These actions occur every hour. The return of the sector is effected mechanically by an arm R of it being moved by a lever I', connected to a crank 0, which is released by the clock and is revolved one revolution by a spring or weight, once an hour. The details of construction may be varied. The return of the sector may be effected electromagnetically by a core on the arm of the sector being attracted into a stationary solenoid, when current is supplied to this by a contact wheel in the clock.

Abstract: 9472. Grundtvig, C. F., [Borlide, Moniz, & Co.]. April 27. Acetylene.-When the acetylene generator shown in section in Fig. 2 is in action, water rises from the tank a through a spring-controlled valve l into the vessel c, and passes into the carbide-holder d through holes in its vertical walls. The gas generated escapes through a pipe w into the gasholder b and raises it, when the pressure is sufficient, so that the carbide is withdrawn from the water. Both ends of the pipe j through which the gas may be drawn off are raised to the level of the upper edge of the tank u, and a cock j<1> for the withdrawal of water is also provided. The carbide holder d is detachably connected to the cover e of the vessel c by hooks y, and is fitted with internal perforated metal strips s over the holes in its walls. The cover e is secured in position by means of a screw q and a bridge-piece, the joint being made airtight by means of a packing-ring. Vertical rods, fixed to the top of the tank a and connected at their upper ends by a horizontal rod, act as guides for rollers mounted on the gas holder b, and as supports for pulleys which carry a cord for connecting a counterpoise to the screw q. The motion of the holder b is further steadied by rollers k which bear against the tank a. The valve l opens when the carbide-holder d is secured in position.
